Amazon and Skyborn Renewables announced the signing of a 600 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for carbon-free electricity from the Gennaker offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.
Amazon's long-term commitment to buy Gennaker's power gives Skyborn the financial certainty to move forward with construction. Gennaker will add up to 976.5 MW of new offshore wind capacity to Germany's electricity system, accelerating Germany’s energy transition and strengthening the country’s supply of domestically produced carbon-free electricity.
With a total capacity of up to 976.5 MW, Gennaker is set to become the largest offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea. The project will be located approximately 15 kilometres north of the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Skyborn has developed Gennaker from the earliest stage, securing the construction permit in December 2025. The project will feature 63 state-of-the-art 15 MW offshore wind turbines. Once operational, Gennaker is expected to generate enough carbon-free electricity to power the equivalent of more than one million German households annually.
Construction is expected to begin following financial close by Skyborn in summer 2026, with the wind farm expected to become operational toward the end of 2028. The project makes a significant contribution to Germany’s target of 30 gigawatts (GW) installed offshore wind capacity by 2030 and strengthens energy security by diversifying the country’s domestic renewable generation in the Baltic Sea.
